[quote] [url=http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2009-12/3-d-bio-printer-fabricates-organs-order]The problem with organ transplants is that the organ has to come from someone else. Since most people rather fancy their hearts and lungs, getting any organ other than a kidney usually requires the difficult combination of donor consent and timely death. In an attempt to circumvent that limitation, the engineering company engineering firm Invetech teamed up with the medical company Organovo to produce the first commercial 3-D bio-printer...[/url] [/quote] Interesting.
Bio Printer just makes me think of a regular colour printer. [highlight]ERROR: OUT OF ORGANS, PLEASE INSERT ORGANS AND PRESS OK TO RESUME PRINT[/highlight]
Holy cow. That's amazing.

[quote]The printer remains in an early testing phase, but Invetech and Organovo claim that the technology will advance far enough to print out arteries and veins for bypass surgery within five years, with complex organs like a heart or a liver possible within ten.[/quote] Yet another thing that will take for fucking ever to get done.
Oh yea, Print me a whole turkey for Christmas baby!
Is it out of ink again? Anyway, looks like we could finally start the bio-boom. Buy upgraded brains for 300$!

My printer is out of type A blood, anyone know of a cheap place to get some?
Did somebody say food replicators?
[QUOTE=Axznma;19029318]Yet another thing that will take for fucking ever to get done.[/QUOTE] Five to ten years for a device that can [b]create[/b] organs? That sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Well this is cool.
I can't think of a decent pun involving organ printers.

Did anyone else read the title as First Commercial 3-D Bioprinter Fabricates Orgasms
Oh WOW. Once again, I'm going to see some amazing shit in my time.

In 20 years time, we'll be able to print breasts.
[QUOTE=Axznma;19029338]Inside looks like snake skin.[/QUOTE] why do you know that? [editline]11:39AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Van-man;19030391]So what, we're having fun :v:[/QUOTE] he was being sarcastic
It should be compulsory to give up your organs for donation, the selfish bastards (Unless they have some kind of disease).
I rate OP heart because they're gonna be printing them.

[quote=MaxHubert (From Sauce)] Could u also make a female organ with that, or even a shaft for transexual? Even using the opposite gender genetic? [/quote] Was waiting for that :V

It's incredible, it's awesome, and it's scientifically groundbreaking. Look at it one more time, guys, we'll never hear or see this thing again. Things like this never get passed the testing phase.
